I am feeling like that more and more days. My pain has been the worst
yet this month. I was more active over labor day weekend with a family
reunion that I had planned for my husband family & then traveling for 5
hours for a Dr appointment & the 5 hours back. Then I got sick & the
coughing. I also have our county fair next week. We stay in our camper
at the fair grounds so that the kids can be there to keep an eye on
their animals. We will be there Wed through Sunday & then I have
another 10hour round trip to the dr again. The traveling really kills
me. Just the vibration in the car causes extra pain. More days than
not, I just dont want to keep going day after day. Recently we have
lost 2 family friends both age 47 and I envy them, being out of pain. My
meds have been increased but I am still in so much pain. The pain is
waking me up during the night, so I am not sleeping well either. I
hardly do anything around the house any more except for the laundry. I
got a basket that has wheels on it to help me. But this week, I wasnt
even up to that. I used to have only one really bad day a week, where I
spent most of the day in bed, but I have been in bed 4 days the past
week. Last June-Sept was the last time I was pain free. Some days, it
is just too much to handle.
